trapped in the sense that we have no choice but to face all these regional problems in way that a country like spain or the uk doesnt have to ever worry about. The geography dictates your either a great power or you have to endure a tough existence. From the Romans to the Ottomans. When your...
If it ever turned into an all out war Turkey vs Russia i have no doubts NATO would kick Turkey out and find any excuse to legitimise it. In all our conflicts and problems with Russia most NATO nations either didn't give two shits or outright supported Russia.
But Turks are trapped by...
You don't need outsiders for that you got AK party, they have done an exceptional job at destroying the Turkish economy. However it only adds to my point Turks cannot afford political incompetence you are sitting on a cliff edge. The British are far from everything, they are under no direct...
You make a few points.
The first concerns the s400. Ok you brought it, soon after the Russians bombed Turkish troops as a reward. Politically speaking Russians are some of the most degenerate actors on earth. But you got the s400 you waved it in the wests face and then soon after the Russians...
Politically speaking i would rate Turkey around 3 out of 10. Nearly falls into every trap prepared for her, shows little to no foresight over what she does, a good example the s400. Complete inability to achieve anything diplomatically and the nation spends most her time trying to correct her...

While Britain's boss the Americans play bad cop towards the Turks, the British have moved into the...
if were rational any of these fanatical islamist ideologies in the region are not really from the region, they never served the people of the region. When you look at Iranian theocracy or the Suadis and their isis like wahhabists, these ideologies are not serving the interests of the region...
The Russians had every advantage in that situation meanwhile they all literally run away leaving themselves open to be taken out.
Really shows the difference in mindset. The Ukrainians charge face first into danger with no concern for death, meanwhile the Russians at the first moment of a...
The more they attack Azerbaijan and side with Armenia/Russia against her, the more it wakes up the common Azeri Turk in Iran to realise that he must control his own home and not outsource it to the fanatical persian mullah regime.
But Turkey has to move away from not interfering in domestic...
Terrorist attacks on Turkish soil was so common for such a long time that most are numb to it. In england one terrorist attack will have the nation up in arms and they will go on about it for years. In Turkey by next week it will be forgotten about. Thats how common this shit is and most of it...
